WalkthroughThe limit-service package moves from CommonJS JavaScript to a typed ES module implementation. It adds typed contracts, limit resolution, limit classes, monthly period utilities, and configuration problem reporting. Ghost supplies database counters and initializes the service from host settings. Admin code uses the new counter and result types. Lint and formatting rules now include the package. Vite no longer force-includes the legacy package entry point. Tests cover date utilities and updated host-limit behavior. Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Malformed configuration or counter values can weaken limit enforcement, while staff counting can undercount some records. These issues and the new-service TypeScript requirement should be addressed before merge. Important Pre-merge checks failedPlease resolve all errors before merging.

- Line 21: Normalize the aggregate values returned by the counter methods to
numbers before returning them. Update the result handling at the count and sum
return sites, including the methods feeding
CountedLimit.errorIfWouldGoOverLimit(), to use Number with a zero fallback for
nullish aggregate results.
In `@packages/limit-service/src/date-utils.ts`:
- Line 28: Validate the DateTime produced by DateTime.fromISO in the
period-start calculation before returning from the relevant date utility, and
throw IncorrectUsageError when startDateISO.isValid is false. Remove the unsafe
string cast path so MaxPeriodicLimit.count and counter only receive a valid ISO
periodStart, while preserving the existing calculation for valid dates.

Learning: In TypeScript test files, treat each `it(...)` or `test(...)` callback as a separate function scope. Identically named local declarations, such as `queries` or `recordQuery`, in separate test callbacks are valid and should not be reported as duplicate block-scoped declarations.

Now it is here, the package can be what it should have been. It is TypeScript on the golden path, built like every other package, so a browser bundler can drop what an app does not use and the workaround forcing it through the pre-bundler is gone again. The interface every caller uses is unchanged. The queries that count members, staff, newsletters and emails have moved into Ghost. They were never the limit service's to hold: what a staff user is, and that Contributors do not count towards one, is Ghost's schema. The service asks for a number now and is handed one, which is the same reason Admin can answer the same questions over HTTP without either side knowing how the other does it. Resolving limits is a pure function and the service only holds its result, so limits can be rebuilt and swapped rather than mutated while something reads them. A limit that cannot be applied is reported instead of dropped: before, the first one that could not took every limit loaded after it with it, and said nothing. Two limits that used to go missing now apply. A name a host spelled in another case arrives with its settings rather than as an empty shell, because the name was matched in one form and its settings read under another. And a name this build has never heard of is honoured rather than discarded, so a host can switch a feature off before the release that knows about it ships. The pinned tests show both changes; nothing else moved. What kind a limit is stays inferred from the shape of its configuration, as before. Declaring kinds is worth doing, but Ghost(Pro) already models limits and their types in its own tables, and a second declaration here would have to agree with that one. That is a conversation, not a detail, so it is left alone. The documentation came across describing an API that has changed, and in one place a method that never existed, so it is corrected alongside. ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/BER-3797

Validate database aggregate rows before conversion.
The require() cast discards the declared Knex and aggregate-row types. If result.count is malformed, Number(...) returns NaN; the limit checks use > comparisons, which return false for NaN and can allow an over-limit operation. Keep the query typed and validate each aggregate row with Zod before conversion.

Update the members count query in the counter function to retain Knex’s declared
types instead of casting through require, then validate the returned aggregate
row with Zod before converting count to a number. Reject malformed or missing
count values so limit comparisons never receive NaN, while preserving the
existing valid-count return behavior.

Third of four, stacked on #30510. Best reviewed after it.
Problem
Now the code is here, three things about it are worth fixing, and the previous change deliberately left all of them alone so they could be seen separately.
It carried Ghost's database queries inside it. What a staff user is, and the rule that contributors do not count towards a staff allowance, is Ghost's own business, not something a general piece of limit-checking machinery should know.
It is written in an older style that browsers cannot load directly, which is why the previous change needed a workaround to get it into the admin client at all.
And three limits could go missing without anything being said. A limit whose name is spelled with underscores rather than capitals arrived with none of its settings, so a site the host meant to limit was not limited. A limit whose name this version of Ghost had never heard of was thrown away, which is exactly what happens when the hosted service starts offering something before every site has the release that knows about it. And when one limit could not be applied at all, every limit loaded after it was silently discarded too.
Solution
The queries move into Ghost. The limit code now asks for a number and is handed one, so the admin client can answer the same question over the network without either side knowing how the other does it.
The code is rewritten in the same style as every other package here, which removes the workaround the previous change needed and lets unused parts be dropped from what browsers download.
Working out a site's limits is now a calculation with no memory, and the result is simply held. That means limits can be recalculated and swapped rather than edited while something else is reading them, which is what would eventually allow a plan change to take effect without restarting anything.
The three disappearing-limit problems are fixed, and a limit that genuinely cannot be applied is now reported rather than dropped. The tests from the first change show those two behaviour changes and nothing else, which is what tells you the rest is untouched.
One thing deliberately not done: what kind of thing each limit is still follows from the shape of its configuration, rather than being declared. Declaring it is worth doing, but the hosted service already keeps its own record of limits and their kinds, and a second record here would have to agree with that one. That is a conversation to have first.
The interface every caller uses is unchanged throughout.
